My opinion as a copyright lawyer is that there is nothing copyrightable in the single line that consists of the proposed route, under US law. Of course others are free to disagree. On Sun, Apr 14, 2019, 9:36 AM Mateusz Konieczny wrote: > de minimis is applicable in cases where copyrighted

Re: [OSM-talk] FCC public documents license and submarine cables mapping

The linked document was filed by GN's attorneys, submitted to the FCC, not authored by the FCC. That said, the level of detail on the map is so small that I personally would deem any copying de minimus. On Sat, Apr 13, 2019, 11:30 PM Clifford Snow wrote: > > François, > The US FCC should be

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Usage of OSM URLs in combination with proprietary set of URLs

Hello Gian and Sandro, IMO, from an ODbL it is definitely okay or you to extract URLs and crawl them, and publish the crawled data (though you'd need to attribute OSM for the URLs). But if you are combining OSM URLs with proprietary URLs, and then publishing both, then there's the question of

Hi Naveen, LWG can add GODL-India to our agenda to review for compatibility. Note that in general, if a source is not compatible, there is always the option to ask for a waiver of the incompatible clause instead of release under ODbL or another compatible license. Thanks, Kathleen On Fri, Aug 24,

WOF aside, we can put it on our agenda to discuss whether the CDLA-permissive license is compatible with ODbL (note that there is also a CDLA-sharealike, which is not compatible). I've started to see it mentioned in other circles as well. -Kathleen On Wed, Aug 22, 2018 at 5:19 PM Simon Poole

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] License clarification

The way I understand the use, the OSM data is used to identify areas that are to be discarded. Data in those areas are discarded. Thus, the OSM data is not kept either, and no OSM data in the final dataset. Thus, there is no derivative database containing OSM data. On Wed, Jun 6, 2018 at 3:36 PM

Re: [OSM-talk] How INSPIRE data are sold in your countries

Hi, Openaddress.io lists a lot of open address data sources by country. A lot of it is CC-BY or ODbL or similar licenses (not all of it compatible with OSM), though you have to look at each individual location to see what it is specifically. For example:

Re: [OSM-talk] How do you mapping gender neutral toilets? What should the unisex tag mean?

I think the most likely application may be the other way around, where transgender individuals concerned about harassment may purposefully seek out restrooms that are designated unisex in order to reduce the chances of encountering someone who might challenge whether they are using the "correct"
